Simple stories from a not-so-simple life.
Dear Someone Who I call “Jiejie”, I don’t really know how to write this properly, but I want to express my gratitude to you.Thank you so much for being there last Sunday. At that moment, I was really looking for help from anyone. Everyone probably had their own matters to
Dear You, I must write this clearly, in case you read it someday.I do not know how deep your wounds or past traumas go,but one thing is clear. You always start from your own assumptions.You never ask, never clarify, you just believe the version of the story that plays in
Sometimes I wonder if I’m still sane.It feels like every day just goes in the same circle: wake up, open the laptop, open the research file, try again, fail again.Repeat.Until I do not even know how many times I have written “retry” in the work folder. Everyone sees me as
I think I have to write this. I have to express my self. Eventhough it is quite late. But anyway.. Actually, my mind had been under high tension since June. The pressure kept building up. I tried to handle everything by myself and kept trying to stay positive. But finally,
I found this writing again today, it was written in 2017. It brought me back to a time that feels both near and far. Junior high school. Our class. Our circle. We called it BCC. The name did not really matter. What mattered was the people in it, we are
Back then, I wrote something called “20 Gold Dreams” in 2013, a list of what I hoped to achieve in the future. I was still a student, full of hope, and maybe a little too ambitious. But reading it now makes me smile. Some dreams happened faster, some slower, and
Back in 2011, there was this kid who still carried a student ID and a pocket full of dreams. He barely knew what life was about, yet somehow, he wrote about love. It’s probably not the romantic kind, but the kind that makes people stronger, braver, and more human. Looking
The year was 2011.I was a student who thought I had life all figured out. I wrote deep things, even though I probably didn’t really understand them. But hey, I tried. I believe I wrote that using school facilities hahaha Today I found my old blog again, and wow… I
I received a recommendation letter from my professor who has been guiding me throughout my studies. He wrote it himself, sealed it carefully in an envelope, and handed it to the department. The staff only told me to collect it and upload it by myself. Before I opened it, no
“If you never taste a bad apple, you will never appreciate a good one.” Life teaches us through contrast. You will never understand the sweetness of kindness until you have been hurt by indifference. You will never value loyalty until you have experienced betrayal. And you will never recognize genuine
I always try to keep personal matters separate from work, and I never use being busy as an excuse to ignore things that are personal. Uniquely, my teachers and even my professors notice this very well. So that, they perefer to ask me or wait for my clarification. I am
Hey bro, if spending time with women, whether as a friend or something more, please treat her properly. She, the woman, is a queen who has been cared for and protected by her family. With all her beauty and gentleness, she can sometimes be carried away by her feelings, swept
I wrote this because of how easily romantic content spreads across social media today.It looks beautiful, but not everything we see there is true.Many people get carried away, thinking love alone can solve everything, forgetting that feelings without direction can also mislead. People often ask why I still do not
I lost myself.June to October became the most regretful months in my life. I never felt this way before. Those months were heavy, full of mistakes, confusion, and silence. I was not the person I used to be. Maybe some people noticed my June and July, even when I tried
Akhir-akhir ini aku sering merasa aneh. Sulit fokus, gampang bosan, dan entah kenapa otakku kayak terus mencari hal baru.Begitu mulai baca buku atau ngerjain sesuatu, tangan ini malah pengin buka ponsel dan scroll media sosial. Awalnya kupikir cuma capek, tapi ternyata bukan. Ini gejala brainrot. Brainrot itu kondisi saat otak
Two days ago, I wrote about mental health and how every wound deserves space to heal.Because healing is never a straight path.Some days we feel okay, and other days we fall apart for reasons we cannot explain. In recent months, I have been feeling a kind of pain that I
Beberapa waktu lalu aku sempat menulis tentang kesehatan jiwa, tentang bagaimana setiap luka batin pantas mendapat ruang untuk disembuhkan. Tulisan kali ini adalah kelanjutannya, bagian dari perjalanan yang sama. Karena ternyata, penyembuhan bukan proses yang lurus. Kadang ada hari di mana kita merasa baik-baik saja, lalu esoknya kembali hancur
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about myself and the things I’ve done. I realized that some of my actions, even when I meant well, might have made others feel uncomfortable. I never meant to hurt anyone. But looking back, I can see that sometimes I went too far. Maybe
Yesterday, during World Mental Health Day 2025,I felt the need to write this. Not just to share my story, but to remind myself, and maybe you too, that every inner wound deserves space to heal. Mental health is not something we should hide. It is not a taboo.Many people still
Sebelumnya, selama hari kesehatan jiwa se-dunia. World Mental Health 2025.Aku menulis ini bukan sekadar untuk berbagi kisah, tapi untuk mengingatkan bahwa setiap luka batin pantas mendapat ruang untuk disembuhkan.Mental health bukanlah sebuah privasi yang harus disembunyikan, juga bukan hal yang tabu untuk dikomunikasikan.Betapa banyak orang di luar sana yang belum
Lucunya hidup, makin kita kejar kebahagiaan, kadang malah makin terasa jauh. Kita sibuk mengejar sesuatu yang kita pikir akan membuat hidup lebih berarti, padahal sering kali kebahagiaan sudah hadir dalam bentuk yang sederhana. Ia tidak hilang, hanya tertutup oleh keinginan-keinginan baru yang tidak ada habisnya. Setiap orang punya titik awal
Once again, I am learning, this time about life.There are many parts of myself that I never noticed before, yet they were shown to me through the eyes of someone else. For that, I am thankful to someone. My life truly changed, made me feel like a real human being.
Ada satu keyakinan sederhana yang sejak lama saya simpan dalam hati. Bahwa orang yang tepat akan datang di waktu yang tepat. Bukan lebih awal, bukan terlambat. Tapi benar-benar di waktu yang pas, saat kita membutuhkannya, meski kadang kita sendiri belum menyadarinya. Pernah ada masa di mana semuanya terasa berat. Hari-hari
Wise people say,“The right people will come at the right time.” I believe that’s true. I want to thank you all for coming at the right time: You guys are truly good people. ♥️ I think I’ve almost never let you know my true story. I’ve always hidden everything about
Today I sat alone in an empty room.No one else was there. No noise. Just me and my own thoughts. Suddenly I cried.Suddenly I laughed.Suddenly I felt tired. And honestly, I didn’t even know why. I tried to be kind to myself. I wanted to tell my body and mind,“I’m
There’s a certain figure in life who never talked much about love,but through their actions, we learned so much.About responsibility.About quiet dedication.About strength that doesn’t need to be loud. Losing them is not just about losing a person.It’s losing someone we used to turn to.Someone whose presence made things feel
Kita hidup di zaman yang serba cepat. Semua orang seperti sedang berlomba. Lomba untuk sukses, untuk jadi yang paling menonjol, paling cepat sampai tujuan. Kadang, tanpa sadar, kita juga ikut lari. Ikut merasa harus cepat. Harus sampai. Harus terlihat hebat. Tapi di tengah semua itu, pernah nggak sih kita berhenti
Belakangan ini aku lagi sering nanya hal-hal random ke diri sendiri.Bukan yang filosofis banget sih, tapi ya… semacam: “Sebenernya kenapa ya gue begini?” atau “Ini gue beneran ngerti atau cuma ngikutin aja?” Pernah gak, kamu lagi jalan kaki ke tempat biasa, tiba-tiba ngerasa asing sama semuanya? Kayak, “kok rasanya beda
Entah kenapa, kebahagiaan itu nggak selalu datang dalam bentuk besar.Kadang dia muncul dari hal kecil, yang saking kecilnya sering kelewat disadari.Yang gak masuk feed Instagram. Yang gak bisa dipamerin. Tapi rasanya… cukup. Bahkan cuma karena hal-hal sepele kayak gini: – Nemuin colokan kosong di tempat rame– Dapet tempat duduk di
Sebenarnya ini udah lama banget di kepala. Cuma belum sempat dibagikan aja. Jadi, dulu itu ada masa-masa di mana aku ngerasa sibuk banget.Tab banyak, kerjaan numpuk, tidur gak cukup.Tapi pas ditanya, “terus progresnya apa?”……diam. Pernah gak sih ngerasa kayak gitu? Bangun pagi langsung buka laptop, buka file A, pindah ke
Halo. Assalamu’alaikum! Kalau kamu sampai di sini, mungkin kamu nggak sengaja karena, nyasar, atau cuma iseng selancar di tengah malam. Apa pun itu, aku senang kamu mampir. Blog ini lahir bukan karena aku merasa paling hebat, bukan juga karena semua yang aku tahu layak jadi panduan hidup orang lain. Ini
